Worth it if you build AI agents or APIs and want to collect fiat and crypto payments with usage-based plans via x402, MCP or A2A, plus a virtual card delegated to spending rules.

Avoid it if you are an end consumer: it is B2B/developer infrastructure with no public payment license, in a still very recent category.

Nevermined is a payments platform for AI agents, APIs, datasets and digital services. It lets you register an agent, design usage-based plans and accept fiat and crypto payments from any consumer via HTTP-native (x402), MCP or A2A access. It includes an x402 facilitator and the ability to delegate a virtual card with spending rules, so the agent transacts on real card rails with no checkout. It is rail- and framework-agnostic (OpenClaw, LangChain, CrewAI or custom stacks). The company is based in Switzerland and has raised $7M in total. As it facilitates payment settlement, it moves funds in transit.
